Cancel culture victim Sharon Osbourne urged concern for the "thousands of people" fired for publicly disagreeing with liberal orthodoxies Friday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," according to Fox News Digital.
Osbourne was terminated from her role as a co-host of CBS's daytime talk show "The Talk" in 2021 for backing Piers Morgan after he was accused of racism and fired for blasting Meghan Markle's characterization of the British royal family as racist. She and co-host Sheryl Underwood had a heated exchange in which Osbourne expressed support for Morgan after he left "Good Morning Britain" over differing opinions about Markle.
Osbourne's termination was "not just a small thing, because nobody will touch me now because of what happened," she told host Tucker Carlson. "So it's not a small thing, but I'm fine. I can take care of myself."
"But what about the people [who] can't? … That's what we've got to worry about."
The British-American media personality fell prey to working in the "overly, overly woke" television and film industries, which she compared to "walking on eggshells." Such industries give no second chances, Osbourne said.
An employee could be dismissed for a social media post from as long as "10, 12 years ago." Or, a drunk person surrounded by an unruly crowd could have expressed a belief years ago that they no longer hold, she implied. They would still be a target of cancel culture, she argued.
Following the tense exchange, Osbourne was forced to apologize to her co-workers at CBS.
A new four-part Fox Nation docuseries will take an in-depth look at Sharon Osbourne's departure from "The Talk" and highlight her experiences in media. "To Hell & Back" is set to premiere on Fox Nation on Monday, Sept. 26.
